Morpeth's Floral Clock looking lovely once again

The clock was initially gifted to the Borough of Morpeth in 1972 and it was restored in June 2018 following a fundraising campaign by the Friends of Morpeth’s Floral Clock.

Since then, the Friends have made various improvements to protect the clock and improve its visibility – including a heritage information board – and it is installed and maintained by Northumberland County Council (NCC).

A spokesperson for the group said: “We are delighted to have our clock planted once again for the summer and looking resplendent in beautiful Carlisle Park.

“Many thanks to NCC park staff Brian Ford and team for a superb planting job.

“The clock played an important part in Morpeth’s success in the Northumbria and Britain in Bloom competitions.
